New York Giants running back Andre Brown limped off the field and into the locker room late in the second quarter of the Giants' preseason finale Thursday night, where X-Rays revealed Brown had suffered a broken left leg.

Brown's injury is a blow to the Giants' offense, who had planned to use Brown in tandem with starter David Wilson.

Brown also broke his left leg in 2012.

With Brown out, the Giants will look to Da'Rel Scott or Ryan Torain to serve as Wilson's backup. Scott, a seventh-round pick in 2011, spent most of last season on injured reserve with a knee injury. Torain played in two games for the Giants last year after spending three seasons with the Redskins and Broncos.
